THEME:
Design a Character for your favorite Book, Video Game, or Movie/TV Show

DOORS CLOSE:
Monday February 18, 2013

BRIEF:
We all love us some Sci-Fi. We all doodle characters and robots based on Star Wars or Blade Runner. Maybe creatures are your thing. A dragon from Game of Thrones or LoTR? What's the character for your next children's book? We know you have more in you than another watch or soccer boot. Show us what you got!

JURY:
Discussion forum moderator(s).

CRITERIA:
Designs will be judged purely on subjective opinion of the judge(s). Minimum entry will be 1 8.5” x 11” page of thumbnail sketches, and 1 8.5” x 11” rendering of the final character design. The 1HDC is about your rapid visualization skills in conjunction with a fun topic. Good composition, line weight, and rapid concept development will weigh heavily in the final design.

HOW TO ENTER:
Participants must execute their design in only 1 hour, based on an honor system. Remember, you’re posting to a pile of peers who know what is possible to be done in an hour. To enter, upload your entries to the designated competition forum.

To discuss the challenge and the entries, visit the 1HDC discussion forum.

I think designing a whole character for a brand new universe is a bit dangerous thing to do if you apply the 1hours limit. I choose to take an existing universe (Adventure Time) and to design something related. I guess just a Boba Fett look-a(like is a bit cliché but if it's really creative why not?
